Court upholds decision to remand Susana Luarca Saracho in custody

Guatemala, May 20, 2013. Today, Court B of the First Instance for High-risk Matters upheld the decision to remand the lawyer Susana María de la Asunción Luarca Saracho in custody pending trial. The lawyer is charged with criminal association, human trafficking and the use of forged documents.

At the hearing to review the coercive measures, Judge Miguel Ángel Gálvez declared the petition of the accused, who sought to be released, to be inadmissible. The reasons cited by the judge to substantiate his decision were the risk of obstruction of the investigation and the fact that the circumstances which led to the order to remand Luarca Saracho in custody pending trial remained unchanged.

The judge set June 13 as the date of the pre-trial hearing to decide whether Luarca Saracho should be tried on the above-mentioned charges.

Le quai d'Orsay a pris vendredi un arrêté suspendant les procédures d'adoption des enfants centrafricains. Motif : la situation actuelle sur place ne permet de garantir suffisamment qu'il en va "de l'intérêt supérieur de l'enfant".

43 adoptions en 2012, 66 en 2013... La Centrafrique est devenue ces dernières années le premier pays d'adoption pour la France sur le continent africain. Vendredi, le ministère des affaires étrangères a décidé de mettre un coup d'arrêt immédiat à ces adoptions. "Les procédures d'adoption internationale par toute personne résidant en France ou ressortissant français résidant à l'étranger concernant des enfants de nationalité centrafricaine résidant en République centrafricaine sont suspendues jusqu'à nouvel ordre", indique l'arrêté.

Interrogé par MYTF1News, le quai d'Orsay explique que cette décision a été prise en raison "du climat qui a changé sur place". "La RCA connaît une crise sans précédent. Les conditions politiques, administratives et sécuritaires ne permettent plus de garantir le respect de l'intérêt supérieur de l'enfant et de la famille adoptante", précise le ministère. En clair, les autorités craignent de ne pas pouvoir s'assurer de toutes les garanties quant à l'origine et à l'adoptabilité des enfants, dont beaucoup sont actuellement déplacés et séparés momentanément de leurs parents. Si la mesure est immédiate, elle reste provisoire, précise le ministère, le temps que la situation se stabilise dans ce pays.

Les procédures en cours sont maintenues

Mysore: Two orphans, an Italian couple caught in adoption battle

CNN-IBN | 16-Jan-2014

Bangalore/Mysore: Two brothers, with a tragic past that left them orphaned. They barely remember their how they lost their parents. But today, they dream of a home in Italy. The elder, eight-year-old, hopes to become an engineer, while the younger, six-year-old, dreams of becoming a doctor. But what the future holds, no one knows. The young brothers are at the centre of an inter-country adoption battle. Placed in a children's home in Mysore soon after they were orphaned, the brothers were then shifted to a private organisation in Bangalore that facilitates adoption in 2012.

When CNN-IBN visited Vathsalya Charitable Trust in Bangalore where the brothers are currently placed, they were having classes along with other children. As the team entered their office, the sounds of children ranting alphabets and science facts could be heard from the basement where classes are held.
